Profile image for Murray Milne

Murray Milne

Cinematographer

Cameraman Murray Milne often finds himself working on jobs that involve swimming or hanging from helicopters. After starting on commercials, Milne worked with director Richard Riddiford, filming 80s road movie romance Arriving Tuesday, and Zilch! Following acclaimed shorts with Costa Botes, Milne did impressive work for Peter Jackson on Meet the Feebles and zombie epic Braindead. Since then Milne's work has mixed TV with aerial and underwater photography. 

Milne’s [...] ability to combine cinematography with skiing, rock climbing, flying or diving has made him particularly adept at capturing the force, power and beauty of the New Zealand landscape. Duncan Petrie, in his book Shot in New Zealand
